Very clean and cute room. Need more towels. Very good location close to beach and many nice restaurants. The first guy who did our check-in was very nice but the other guy who was working at the lobby on our last day knocked our room to put us out when I was taking shower. He didn’t know we paid for late check-out. It was not nice. Otherwise, we enjoyed staying.

I would stay again now that I’m aware…

Overall the stay was great. Extremely close to the beach. Beds were comfortable. Rooms were clean. Food at the restaurant was decent. My only issue is that because they don’t have a physical person on duty after a certain hour, you have no one monitoring the floors or building. There was someone banging on a room door down the hall from us for hours because they couldn’t get into the room. Either the person inside was asleep or didn’t want to let them in. It was extremely loud and echoing throughout the floor, disruptive to our sleep and other guests on the floor were very annoyed and upset. There was no one available to tell or to come handle the situation. I would prefer someone be onsite. Also, if you arrive after 10pm, you have to call and someone has to instruct you on how to get to your room key and it involves carrying your luggage up some stairs if you don’t have anyone with you to watch it so that you can come back to open the main door and use the elevator.

The Local House is a charming boutique hotel, and our stay was truly wonderful. The staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The location is ideal—peaceful yet just steps from the beach. The hotel provides convenient beach amenities, including towels, two chairs, and an umbrella. There’s also a restaurant on the ground floor and a rooftop lounge where we enjoyed relaxing in the evenings with a pleasant breeze. The surrounding area is very convenient, with numerous restaurants, a Starbucks, a small market, and a Walgreens just next door. Overall, The Local House offers both comfort and convenience in a beautiful setting.

We really enjoyed our stay. If you are looking to stay in South Beach, you can't go wrong. A few blocks away from the busy nightlife of Ocean Drive. Easy to walk. No need for a car. We ubered from the airport and ubered around miami for relatively cheap (way cheaper than parking). Rooftop pool is small but perfect for sun bathing for a few hours. Only a few lounge chairs however, they should add a few more. Breakfast/bunch downstairs is super fresh and healthy and delicious. Highly recommend!
